Running Linux Mint Virginia Cinnamon. I am forced convert to Linux by recent Windows update failure. Don't know much about Linux. The Linux version of Warband vanilla seems to work (it launches fine --I haven't tried to really play it yet) but the windows based mods don't seem to work at all. I tried Perisno for example and although I could extract the mod to the modules folder, the game simply won't run it. No surprise.

So I installed Wine and installed the Windows version of Warband --which also launches without any problems in Wine. Now the Perisno 7z is sitting in my downloads folder and I can't figure out how to intall it. Where is the modules folder in Wine? I have typed in Terminal "whereis warband" and I get nothing. I also tried "whereis prefix" and also nothing. If I type "whereis wine" I get three locations but I have looked in all three and and I can't even find a warband directory. Also, I don't know how to start wine itself. I tried "wineboot" and just got a list of "fixme" reminders.

I don't know what to try next. Is it possible to "see" the Warband folder in Wine? set up a modules folder? I doubt that Wine will know what to do with the mod if I simply extract it using Wine. Is anyone out there running Warband on Linux with mods? If so, how did you do it?

Update: OK, so I found out that I can run "wine explorer" in Terminal and so now I can see the contents of the Wine installation. I can see the C: directory and I can find the Warband folder and its "Modules" folder with "Native" in it. I can also see the Linux partition from the Wine version of explorer, both as a mounted drive outside the Windows structure and also as Z: within the Windows structure. But I can't paste or move the Perisno folder into the "Modules" folder. There is a Right-Click option to copy and paste, but it throws a "Read access denied" error in Terminal. How do I tell Wine to put the mod folder into the "Modules" folder?

Update 2: OK, this is really simple when you know how it works. The Wine simulation of the Windows environment is accessable at ~/.wine/drive_c. No need to go through Wine at all. I dropped the Perisno folder into the "Modules" folder from there using the Cinnamon "Files" app and everything seems to work fine.

There is no way for me to mark this as "solved" since there is no reply to select, I can't reply to my own message and I can't edit the Topic subject: line.
